The Merlin Project Templates are Here
Since today you can finally find project templates in the support section of our website. This extension was planned for a long time and could now finally be implemented. So I personally have already kept one of my New Year's resolutions 😉.
The templates are sorted according to different topics. The languages in which a template is available can also be easily identified by flags in the text. You will find professional templates, such as for the construction industry, personal projects and even exotic ones, such as planning a fundraising event with auction and wine tasting – certainly a very American topic.
But also templates that are only available as project files are included. Here the emphasis is more on the content and design in Merlin Project. As an example I would like to emphasize the work sheet for the creation of a content marketing strategy or our informative and very nice overview of Scottish Whiskys:
Take a look at all templates via the "Preview" in the browser and download them to your Mac as Merlin Project files or templates. This service is completely free for you.
Have you also designed an interesting project and would like to share it with others? We are looking forward to it! If your project is published by us, we will award it with a Merlin fan box. We would be happy to refer to you as an author. As for example with this project.
If you have any questions about this blog article or would like to discuss it, we look forward to your contribution in our forum.

Picture this scene: It's evening in Hamburg. A man walks into a hotel bar during his business trip. He enters the bar which was next to the reception, walks beside other people enjoying their after-work drinks and sits down on an empty bar stool for one or two drinks before calling it a day. After a few minutes, a woman sits down next to him, smiles and askes if she could buy him the next drink. Feeling flattered, he agrees after insisting that the next round will be on him though. When the drinks come in, he takes a sip and … well that’s all he can remember after that. As he wakes up, he finds himself in a bath tub filled with ice. He can hardly move. His stomach hurts as if he had just gotten into a massive fight. Next to him, a post-it and a telephone. The hand-written note says: Don’t move, call the police. The man starts panicking. He calls the police to state his situation, still being completely unsure about what has happened. After stating what he did knew, the officer tells him: “Sir, please move your hand slowly to the back of your neck and tell me if there is a tube behind you.” Nervously the man reaches behind himself. The officer was right. “It is very important that you try to remain as calm as possible. We send an ambulance to the hotel.
